I believe that “healing starts with being human.” We can heal, thrive, and evolve when we understand ourselves and what will serve in our growth. By our very nature we are built to survive, but we can learn how to turn surviving into thriving. At the end of the day we all seem to need these three things: to be seen, to be heard, and to be understood. This is what you will have in our work together as it serves as the catalyst for change. Searching for a therapist can be scary, confusing, and frustrating, but for what it's worth... I commend you for taking this step for yourself.
If you've ever felt lost, hopeless, and out of place... if you've ever gone through a life change or adjustment and didn't know how to handle it... if you are usually the one putting on a brave face and pretending that you're "okay" most days... or whatever else you may be going through... you don't have to figure it out alone. That's why we're here.
Therapist or not I understand that I'm still a stranger at the end of the day asking personal questions. Sometimes starting therapy can be the most difficult decision to make so I encourage anyone who is interested in services to call me for a free 15 min. consult so you can decide if this is right for you.
